Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed and set the cooked beef aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth to create a smooth gravy base. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper, and let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir until it is fully combined with the gravy. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. If the gravy is too thick, you can add a little more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the hamburger gravy hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
